It's people that are dangerous not inanimate objects. Democrats are the real killers.

The study should try bringing a knife to a gun fight and put the results in the conclusions.

It's not easy for me to come up with many situations where I'd prefer having a knife to a gun. Of course if you want to murder someone, either will do the trick, but the statement that knives are more dangerous than guns is simply preposterous. If that was the case, we'd have hit the beaches in Normandy with swords.

The well-equipped killer will have both.

You can't clean fish with a gun.

On one of the seasons of Justified one of the bad guys was a big knife guy. He'd like to say he only needed 12 feet or whatever to kill a guy who had a gun.

So he's giving his little speech to Raylon and the Marshall pulls out his gun and shoots him dead.

First done by Indiana Jones to a guy with a sword but still gets me every tim

My brother and I loved rewatching that scene over and over again as kids.

I guess the story goes Spielberg brought in this expert swordsman to fight Indy and it was going to be this highly choreographed, epic battle. Ford, who was sick with dysentery at the time, was in no mood to do such a drawn out scene and said to Spielberg, “why don’t I just shoot him?” Spielberg thought that was brilliant and agreed to the change.

I always felt bad for the sword guy though, I guess he spent months training for the original scene.

"Guns don't kill people, democrats kill people" is a wonderful new t-shirt slogan.

I for one am much more skurred of being cut than being shot. Most hoodlums that pull a gun don’t know how to use them very well. Whereas the ones that pull a knife do.

Haven't watched this movie for quite awhile. For a great movie, that is some seriously bad fighting.
